* I had someone request a story where the reader has a nightmare and Mina, Billie, and Cordelia comfort them. I hope this lives up to their idea of the story. I'm sorry for any mistakes on my part. This is a real event that has happened to me and it's hard to talk about. So please be kind.*

It's the same scene every time dark and cold almost haunting in a way. It never feels like you're in immediate danger until in spilt second you are. A slight shiver runs up your back to your neck and you know he's there. Without a second thought, you take off running as fast as you can but it's never enough. Your legs never seem to work as fast in this state. All you know is you have to keep running until you feel hands pull on your shoulders and you drop to the floor screaming.

"Y/n!" the voice calls out to you.

You use your arms like a shield to protect yourself hoping to never see his face again. You cry and beg and plead for him to leave you alone.

"Y/n." the voice calls again. You cry and scream as you try to break from his grip.

"Please. Please leave me alone!" you screamed.

"Y/n!" the voice calls again but this time the voice changes. It's not manly or harsh it's soft but stern. It's a familiar voice one that typically brings you peace.

Your body leaps forward as if you're trying to catapult yourself back to reality. Your breathing is rapid and uneven. Once your eyes open you see the bedroom which you share with your girlfriends.

Looking over you see Cordelia's face in distress.

"What's wrong?" you asked.

"You were screaming and crying. I tried to wake you.."

"Are you alright babydoll?" the blonde next to you asked.

"Bille?"

"Yes, sweetheart. We're here. You're safe," she says softly.

It was only now you noticed all three women looking at you silently observing you with worried expressions.

"I'm sorry. I woke you up. I...I didn't mean to."

"It's alright little one," Mina says softly as she cradles your face in her hands.

"Darling you were having a nightmare," Cordelia says.

"I...yeah I have this one often. It's been a while though. I really didn't mean to wake y'all up."

"It's alright babydoll. Do you want to talk about it?

You try to say no not wanting to relive that time again but you can't help the sob that escapes your throat.

"It's the same one every time. I'm in this place and everything is fine until it's not. A man is chasing me. I try to get away but I never can."

"Do you know who he is?" Cordelia asked.

You nod your head. " Yes. When I was 10 my grandmother got remarried. At the time I was thrilled to have a grandparent so interested in me. He took me everywhere. I spent a lot of time with them. Everything was fine until it changed... I hit puberty and he would say things to me. Touch me mostly in my sleep. I got smarter and tried to stay away from him. Until one day I had nowhere to go. I couldn't get away. "

"Did he..?"

"No. But it was really close. I remember laying there looking up at him. His eyes...I will never forget that look. I cried and begged him to let me go. I remember he almost looked sad like he didn't understand why I was so scared. He asked me if I wanted him to stop. I said yes and he let me go. I remember I locked myself into the bathroom and I blocked the door with a chair from the vanity. I stripped and showered and I just remember crying and thinking once I walked out of that door he would be there."

"What happened after that?" Cordelia asked.

"I don't know. I don't remember anything after that. The next thing I remember is my grandmother being home. She was about to leave again to go help a friend. I remember crying begging her to take me with her. She didn't want to. She called me a brat for making such a scene. I remember my little sister and brother were there but they weren't when all of that happened. I don't remember how they got there or when. I just remember feeling so bad for leaving them there but I couldn't stay with him. "

"Oh, sweetheart." Billie cries as she holds on to you tightly.

"I was such an asshole for leaving them there. They were so young who knows what he did. I just remembered begging her to take me with her and him watching me the whole time. He never said a word. I never understood why he stopped. Why he let me go.."

"Did you tell?"

"Eventually. My parents believed me. His family didn't. I was called a liar and a whore for trying to sleep with him. It was a big ordeal. I tried to stay away from everyone after that. Sometimes I would still see him at the store and hide. I was always so scared."

"I'll kill him," Mina said sharply.

You chuckled "He's already dead. He died years later. I haven't had the dream in a while. Sometimes I forget it even happened until..."

"Until you dream about it," Billie said.

"Yeah."

You sighed as you fixed your hair and looked over at the clock.

"God it's so late. I'm so sorry."

"Hey. Don't apologize." Billie said.

"Little one I'm so sorry that happened to you. I know what it's like to not be in control of your body. I never want you to feel that way. I'm so sorry."

"It's okay," you whispered.

"It's not but it will be. We will help you." Cordelia said with a small smile.

"We will keep you safe even in your dreams."

"Thank you."

"We love you so much."

"I love y'all too."

Cordelia smiles as she cuddles your body into hers. Billie also cuddles into your back with Mina following suit.

"No matter what we're always here to talk or not to talk. Just to hold you and love you. You don't have to face this alone anymore."  Cordelia tells you.

"You have no idea how much that means to me," you said crying softly.

"We will always be here," Billie says as she kisses your forehead.

"Let's try to sleep and don't worry if you have another nightmare we will wake you," Mina says softly.

"I love you," you say out loud and each woman knows it was meant for them.

"We love you too," they say together as they hold you tightly in their arms becoming yet another shield, to protect you from the world and yourself.
